To continue on the notion of Belichick praising Tebow—he is the kind of player that Belichick would love.

Tebow is a team player that will line up at just about any position that the team asks of him—something that Belichick loves. Tebow would not only find himself on New England’s depth chart as a backup quarterback, but he could find himself on the field playing as an H-back, tight end or fullback.

When it comes to scouting players, Belichick loves versatility and Tebow brings that to the table. Tebow might not be an NFL quarterback, but he is a football player.

There hasn’t been any reports of New England showing any interest in the free agent quarterback, but don’t be surprised if Tebow does end up entering training camp this summer as a member of the New England Patriots.

At this point…ALL DAY LONG BABY!
NOTE: the comment of his 603 rushes for 2478 yards and 49 TD’s…….in 3 years at FLORIDA.
I’d point blank pick up Tim Tebow as a “utility man” PLUS.
I trade: Mallet, Cunningham, Deaderick and either VEREEN/RIDLEY and package em’ up before the trade deadline.

If nobody gives Tebow a shot at playing QB, then tell him he can play for the Pats as a jack of all trades. I can see him at TE, FB, ST, and some short yardage QB. If he can swallow his pride and just play, I would be all for bringing him in. BB loves guys with some versitility. Tebow could be one of those players to do a little bit of everything. If he comes here the fans will love him, because he plays the game all out !!!!!!

Tebow just won’t make it as an NFL QB and as far as another position goes he has never played one as far as I know so he would be low man on the depth chart starting out. Then he would have to learn the new position in just a few weeks. Could he do it? Maybe but how good would he be and what kind of upside could we expect? Then there is the media destraction level to consider. NE isn’t New York but to think our media is all that different is silly. I just have to question the idea of bringing him onboard.

Uhmm, Does the TE list your talking about list include the 2 part timer “starters” that are always injured a considerable amount of the time…….. & who else? Rookie Brad Herman? M. Hoomi……o.k.
Noting: the shoulder injury TE case should respectively be brought into the WR realm a bit.

I find it funny how everybody treats Tebow as if hes this selfish on field player who cares for himself like Jamarcus russel or Terrell owens. I would have liked to have seen him go on a team last year where he actually is treated like a starting QB not a side show clown.

Good luck Tebow hope you have a successful career somewhere no matter what position

Great point! Tebow personifies all of the qualities that any aspiring athlete in any sport should want to emulate. The notion that Tebow does not have a place in the NFL is laughable, as the Patriots of the early 2000s that gave us so many cherished memories were a largely selfless group that would have quickly embraced the opportunity to get a character guy like Tebow if available at that time. With that said, however, I’m not convinced that the Patriots organization has the same kind of identity that it once had—when it recognized that the genesis of a championship team is the locker room environment.

The “team player” aspect of Tebow’s game is extraordinarily overrated. There are multiple accounts stating that he would be unwilling to go to a team that wouldn’t use him as a QB (presumably unless it were an absolute last resort). If he joined the Patriots tomorrow, he would be no better than the third-best QB on the team, the fourth-best RB, or the fifth-best TE (and that’s being generous). For me, his ceiling is the equivalent of a low-level utility infielder in baseball: the guy you can plug in for a few snaps here and there when something’s wrong with the starter–and not a very good utility infielder at that.

Ultimately, I’m not worried about the media circus that would follow him–it would get shut down in Foxboro. But I seriously question if he’s good enough to contribute to the team.

I could see it happening if they say to him, we’ll give you a chance to be a backup qb in camp (in our system, not one created for you), but you have to be willing to play another position if that doesn’t work (which it obviously won’t). But why not give him a chance to be a fullback h-back type of player? McDaniels likes those kinds of players and obviously likes Tebow. I could see it happening.

Two things are against Tebow playing for the Patriots:
(1) Tom Brady hates him. He seemed very determined in both games against the Broncos in 2011 and didn’t like the amount of attention Tebow was receiving at the time.
(2) PFT reported that teems wanted to trade for Tebow if he agreed to move to TE, but he refused. Does he want to play TE/FB for the Patriots? The Pats have 2 Pro Bowlers and 3 other competent players at the position, so why would they want another TE?

“Hate” might be a bit strong, but there was definitely an edge to Brady’s play in both games (and the team in general in the playoffs). The media was loaded with stories wondering how the Patriots were going to contain the dynamic QB, and asking if Tebow was the next big thing. You could definitely tell it tweaked Brady a bit.

That being said, I don’t think it was about Tebow per se–more about perception. Now that he’s gone bust in New York, I doubt those issues would come up again.

Tebow to NE is a terrible idea. He is the worst QB in the league, and wont switch positions. He needs to go to Canada and see if he can get some playing time up there and them MAYBE, he could earn a shot with an NFL team.

Lot of comedians here………………….Tebow can play any position on the football field…………………He can’t throw…………..Anyone ever see him catch a pass……………….He ran for 2000 yards………….Yeah as a QB with an option to run…………..He is not gaining 1000 yards as a pure runnung back any time soon…………..He was like a lot of QB’s that came out of college……..Great college player but that’s as far as it goes………………And the odds against you of trying to transition to another position you never played are huge…………Especially when your tring to do it in an NFL training camp against people who play the position…………
